Once again, the holidays – or is it holidaze? – are upon us, bringing with it a flurry of Christmas movies.
You have your endless parade of cartoons, specials, Christmas-themed episodes of your favorite TV shows, bad holiday comedies (1996’s Jingle All the Way and 2007’s Fred Claus come to mind), and Christmas-set horror movies (1984’s Gremlins). Then there’s the cheesy yet feel-good Lifetime and Hallmark films. And how can we forget the 24-hour marathon of 1983’s A Christmas Story (celebrating its 40th anniversary this year), beginning on Christmas Eve and ending on Christmas Day?
If those don’t do it for you, maybe these lists of Christmas movies will.

Dan Stevens gives a frenetic performance as Charles Dickens racing to finish writing “A Christmas Carol” in time to publish before the holiday, in The Man Who Invented Christmas. Directed by Bharat Nalluri (Miss Pettigrew Lives For A Day), this film has all the Christmas color and Victorian period costumes and sets you could want in a Christmas film. The film is mostly a clever way to retell the famous tale, as characters spring from the author’s imagination while he struggles with his own family issues and races to meet a pre-Christmas release deadline, but it also touches on how his short novel transformed a once-minor holiday into the tradition we know today.

Stop us if you've heard this one before: A group of criminals meet up for a gun deal. It goes bad – very bad. And the rest of the story, you ask? "Doesn't matter!" Martin Scorsese exclaims, laughing. "You don't need it. We're beyond that now." The burly, bearded man sitting next to him – British director Ben Wheatley – wholeheartedly agrees. "There's only, like, 12 characters in this movie anyway," he adds. "There are no twists, because it's either going to be that one or that one or that one. So what's the point?...

Liam Neeson says playing a Jesuit priest in his upcoming film Silence made him reflect on his own spirituality.
“I’m questing all the time about my faith and it shifts all the time,” he tells People.
The film’s central theme of standing up for your faith made Neeson explore the idea of where doubt fits into religion.
“The other component of faith that Martin Scorsese explores in the film is doubt. They’re both ,” he says. “And I think it is a god-given component. If we have this free will to question and if one believes in God,...

Brooklyn is a film about a young Irish woman, Eilis, who moves to America in the 1950s and then returns to Ireland after a family tragedy. It seemed a perfect role for actress Saoirse Ronan (pronounced “Sear-sha”), who was born in New York but when she was three, her parents took her to their native Ireland when they returned there. Now 20 years old, Ronan first gained wide notice for her role in Atonement when she was 12.
Ronan spoke recently about Brooklyn by phone in a conference call. Here is a portion of that interview, edited for length and clarity.
Movie Geeks: “How does your own experience coming to the country compare and influence the movie in turn?”

On the surface, Brooklyn is about a young Irish woman in the 1950s moving to American to start a new life, but it is also about anyone growing up and moving away from home, whether that is going away to college or moving away to a new city for a job. The film deals with the loneliness, the homesickness, and the strangeness of being somewhere new, and all the adjustments and changes that brings. It also deals with how it feels to go back home after that. It is a story that will make anyone who has experienced that ache with remembered things. It is a meditation on identity, self-discovery and life-choices, full of nuances and shadings, set in a lovely nostalgic landscape.

Brooklyn tells the profoundly moving story of Eilis Lacey (Saoirse Ronan), a young Irish immigrant navigating her way through 1950s Brooklyn. Lured by the promise of America, Eilis departs Ireland and the comfort of her mother’s home for the shores of New York City.
The initial shackles of homesickness quickly diminish as a fresh romance sweeps Eilis into the intoxicating charm of love. But soon, her new vivacity is disrupted by her past, and Eilis must choose between two countries and the lives that exist within.

People often talk about over-hyped and under-hyped films, and with good reason, but when a film strikes you as getting exactly the right amount of hype, it’s rare indeed. This is exactly where Exodus: Gods and Kings seems to fall. It’s a film that seems like it should have gotten more attention, especially considering the cast, and the fact that it was directed by Ridley Scott.
It turns out that the film, while actually quite good, delivers to precisely the level of interest the world seems to have dictated is its due.
A thematically unique spin on this, or any other, biblical telling, Exodus starts us off with Moses (Christian Bale) in the prime of his Egyptian Prince-ish-hood. He’s about to take care of some upstart tribe or other with his “brother” Ramses (Joel Edgerton), and a prophecy kicks off Ramses’ dislike of the man he has...

20th Century Fox has unveiled a new trailer for director Ridley Scott’s highly anticipated film, Exodus: Gods And Kings. The movie stars Christian Bale, Joel Edgerton, Aaron Paul, John Turturro, Sigourney Weaver, Ben Mendelsohn and Ben Kingsley.
This is a film that requires an IMAX viewing and one that would have been presented in Cinemascope years ago. The scale of it looks like Cecil B. DeMille’s The Ten Commandments and going by the visuals from this new trailer, Scott has mastered Epic as an artform.
20th Century Fox previewed parts of the film for the media on Tuesday. Variety’s Awards Editor Tim Gray writes the film falls into the,
“they don’t make ‘em like that anymore” category, with big battle scenes and aerial panoramas of ancient cities, rustic settlements and military camps, all rendered in 3D CGI glory. And the footage really shifted into high gear...

Opening in theaters on December 12, go behind the scenes in the making of 20th Century Fox’s epic Exodus: Gods And Kings from director Ridley Scott.
The Noah movie opened the floodgates for biblical movies at the beginning of 2014 and to some, a welcome visit back to the Golden Age of Hollywood.
With Exodus bowing at the end of the year during awards season, Scott solidifies his status among the ranks of those larger-than-life directors – David Lean, Cecil B. DeMille, William Wyler, Joseph L. Mankiewicz – in his latest historical drama.
Casting is everything and with huge stars like Oscar-winners Christian Bale and Ben Kingsley, Oscar-nominee Sigourney Weaver and Joel Edgerton, the filmmaker may find himself at Hollywood’s big party in February. Last time Scott went epic was in May 2000 when Gladiator opened in theaters and later went on to win five Oscars, including Best Picture, at the 73rd Academy Awards.

McCarthy, making his screenwriting debut and Scott interweave the author’s characteristic wit and dark humor with a nightmarish scenario, in which a respected lawyer’s one-time dalliance with an illegal business deal spirals out of control.
Twentieth Century Fox will release The Counselor on October 25, 2013.

The summer passed by quickly didn’t it? Remember when we were wondering whether Star Trek Into Darkness would be any good? Spoiler: It was. Or whether The Lone Ranger would be an uncontested box office champion? Another spoiler: It wasn’t. Or whether a movie about giant robots fighting giant monsters would appeal to audiences made up of more than just nerds? And how would Iron Man 3 perform as the follow-up to the mega-blockbuster The Avengers? Indeed, the summer of 2013 held many surprises and a similar number of disappointments for movie fans and the overall business of the movies held quite a bit of drama and suspense as well. The movies of fall 2013 are no different.
From September thru November there are films coming out that represent virtually every genre you can think of. Some should be good while others will probably just be plain awful. The films...

This story consists almost entirely of "Prometheus" spoilers.
You've been warned.
True to his legacy of sci-fi-horror, Ridley Scott peppered "Prometheus" with moments that are sure to make you wish you'd kept your helmet on, but none of the film's shocking moments even approach one hair-raiser in particular.
The sequence doesn't require much identification beyond "that scene," but in case you've already repressed the memory of it, here's a refresher.
Hours after an intimate encounter with her alien-infected boyfriend, the supposedly infertile Elizabeth Shaw (Noomi Rapace) finds out that she is, in fact, three months pregnant with something. Shaw, desperate to get the thing out of her, undergoes an impromptu Cesarean section in a futuristic self-surgery med-pod.

Is Ridley Scott‘s Prometheus an unqualified box-office success in North America? Well, I’d say not exactly. [Photo: Michael Fassbender as the android David. See also Box Office: Madagascar 3 Beats Prometheus.]
True, 20th Century Fox has claimed they were expecting $30m-$35m on opening weekend, but that sounds absurdly modest. Most box-office prognosticators were predicting that Prometheus would debut with about $55m. Additionally, reviews have been generally positive, as Ridley Scott’s horror sci-fier has a 73% approval rating (and 7.4/10 average) among Rotten Tomatoes‘ top critics.
And then there’s the "brand recognition." Though some may claim Prometheus is an "original" sci-fier, it’s not — at all. Murky at first, the Alien connection has become patently clear in the last several months.
Box Office: Prometheus vs. Inception, Super 8, Snow White and the Huntsman
For comparison’s sake: back in July 2010, Christopher Nolan / Leonardo DiCaprio’s PG-13-rated sci-fier Inception, for all purposes an "original" concept, debuted with $62.8m. Here’s a second comparison...

Prometheus: Michael Fassbender / android David Box office: Prometheus movie, Madagascar 3 in a dead heat. Assisted by outstanding business at IMAX locations and 3D surcharges, Ridley Scott‘s Prometheus is off to a remarkably strong start at 3,396 theaters in North America. Slightly behind on Friday, another 3D-assisted movie, the animated feature Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted, will likely top the weekend at 4,258 locations. Including $3.56m from Thursday midnight screenings, the R-rated Prometheus grossed $21.4m on Friday as per studio estimates found at Box Office Mojo. That’s the tenth highest opening day ever for an R-rated movie — if you pretend something called inflation doesn’t exist. Additionally, that’s slightly more than the Kristen Stewart / Charlize Theron / Chris Hemsworth 2D, PG-13 adventure fantasy Snow White and the Huntsman‘s $20.46m (including a considerably more modest $1.38m at midnight screenings) at 3,773 locations last week.

Slightly behind on Friday, the 3D-propelled animated feature Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted is expected to top the weekend at 4,258 locations.

Prometheus movie: Ridley Scott, Noomi Rapace Prometheus movie box office: Ridley Scott‘s Prometheus, a sort of prequel to Scott’s 1979 sci-fi / horror classic Alien, is off to a solid start at the North American box office. At 1,368 theaters, Prometheus took in $3.56m, which is more than twice the midnight box-office take of the Kristen Stewart / Charlize Theron / Chris Hemsworth adventure fantasy Snow White and the Huntsman ($1.38m at 1,092 venues) and the Will Smith / Tommy Lee Jones / Josh Brolin adventure comedy Men in Black III ($1.55m at 2,232 venues). Note: Prometheus, like Men in Black III, has the advantage of box-office-boosting 3D surcharges. Also worth noting, Prometheus earned $1.03M from 294 (costlier) IMAX screens. That’s nearly a third of the film’s midnight box-office take. Back in July 2010, another sci-fier, Christopher Nolan’s Inception, debuted with $62.8m after grossing $3m at midnight screenings. So, will Prometheus open to more than $60m?...

So, as everyone knows by now, a new trailer for Prometheus is zipping around the internet, and everyone everywhere is reported as being, “full of joy.”
The film, which is directed by Ridley Scott, written by Lost creator Damon Lindelof (and Jon Spaihts – co-writer of last year’s The Darkest Hour), and starring: Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, Idris Elba, and Guy Pearce, is coming at you like a certain thumbing of the nose at Oscar-bait films.
As if unable to contain their irritation any longer at the fact that certain directors can make movies about boring subjects, and seem to get nominated for awards even before anyone knows anything about the film, except that at some point certain older actors sit around and have tea – here comes the reply.

Logan Marshall-Green, Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Prometheus As quoted by Gregory Ellwood in HitFix.com, Michael Fassbender sees the android David, his character in Ridley Scott's Prometheus, as "this guy who is on his own for two years while everyone else is in cryostasis. So, what does he do? He amuses himself. … He's curious and how far will that curiosity go? … So, he's hyper-intelligent and more advanced than a regular human being so people don't really embrace him in. He's sort of used and abused. And so how does that make him feel? If robots can feel? You're always playing with the ambiguity if this robot is starting to form a real personality." Fassbender makes David sound quite a bit like Hal in Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey, with the added accoutrements of the Shame / Jane Eyre star's human form. Below is the domestic trailer, which is...

Ridley Scott's Prometheus movie Philosophical question: if God created the universe and all its creatures, did he also create the title character in Ridley Scott's 1979 horror classic Alien? If so, then for what purpose? To make Sigourney Weaver a star? "How far would you go to get your answers? What would you be willing to do?" inquires Michael Fassbender's David The Android in the British trailer (please scroll down) of Scott's Alien sort-of prequel Prometheus. Although I don't think David is referring to Sigourney Weaver's stardom, the answer to that particular question seems to be … hop on a huge spaceship and travel to a distant, dark planet where things may not be quite as they seem. Hint: That's the place where Weaver, Tom Skerritt, Veronica Cartwright, Ian Holm, John Hurt, Harry Dean Stanton, and Yaphet Kotto encountered the remains of several gigantic beings in addition to...

Charlize Theron, Idris Elba, Prometheus Ridley Scott's Prometheus trailer will have its IMAX premiere today following the movie's panel at WonderCon, which is being held at the Anaheim Convention Center in Southern California. So far, we've been fed minute-long teasers — or rather, trailers of the trailer. This latest teaser (please scroll down) offers lots of action, a few faces, a brief line of dialogue, visual effects, explosions, and the like. Watching this teaser, there's no way to know exactly what's going on, except that earthlings have landed on some dark planet where something that's supposed to be scary happens. Will Prometheus be like Alien? Or will it be like Event Horizon? Here's hoping it's like the former. The (maybe) Alien prequel opens June 8.

It seems that 20th Century Fox isn't going to give us a heads-up on the plot of Prometheus.
Six months is a long time to sustain intrigue but the makers of Prometheus are doing their best. Unless you were on Mars you will know that 20th Century Fox released the first official trailer for Ridley Scott’s sci-fi chiller just before Christmas. The studio have also tormented us with a few tantalizing still images.
This past weekend they feed the press another puzzling picture from Scott’s much-anticipated return to genre filmmaking and the Alien universe. Initially published in the Los Angeles Times, it shows Prometheus star Noomi Rapace in what appears to be the corridor of a space ship belonging to the space jockey race depicted in Alien. The presence of two jockeys in the background seems to confirm this (see below).
Other than these details, there is nothing...

Chicago – Director Lone Scherfig has a rare delicate touch when it comes to portraying the subtlety of human relationships in films. After a triumph in 2009 directing Carey Mulligan in “An Education,” Scherfig returns with Anne Hathaway in the new film “One Day.”
Again, Lone Scherfig is a Danish director guiding an American actor (Hathaway) as a British character (she similarly worked that way with Peter Saarsgard in An Education). Both films feature women in transition having to do with relationships, but in One Day the story is as much about the male lead (Jim Sturgess) as Hathaway’s character.
The title One Day refers to July 15th, the designated day that Emma and Dexter (Hathaway and Sturgess) get together through the years from their college days to middle age. In that interim they experience many stages of their relationship, coming in and out of their coupling in various degrees of importance.

Written by: Ann Peacock
Starring: Oliver Litondo, Naomie Harris, Vusi Kunene, Tony Kgoroge and Israel Makoe
The true-life drama “The First Grader” could have easily veered into being another patronizing, Western-made treatment of Africans in the “bravely suffering” mold but, thanks to Ann Peacock’s focused screenplay and Justin Chadwick’s sensitive direction, the movie achieves a poignant, humanist sincerity. The Kenyan government’s ambitious 2003 initiative guaranteeing free primary school education to all its citizens is this story’s catalyst.
The goal of the government initiative, of course, was to give the nation’s poorer children the head-start advantage of reading and writing skills. But when the illiterate 84-year-old Kimani N’gan’ga Maruge (Oliver Litondo) shows up for his free education, he throws everyone — from bureaucrats and administrators to one local schoolteacher — completely off guard.

Unless you count what he’s done to his career, Billy Corgan has never attempted suicide. Until recently, there were plenty of mornings when he’d wake up to a stark choice: “Go eat breakfast, or go kill yourself.” But it’s fortunate he never tried it, because the Smashing Pumpkins founder was always the least slacker-y of Nineties alt-rock heroes: He would’ve gotten it right the first time. “I never got close enough to actually try,” Corgan says, with flat assurance. “Because trying would have said, ‘I’m going to die.

I'm gearing up for the grand daddy of all red carpets this weekend – the Oscars! – and before I start fashion policing, I wanted to dwell on the beauty that was Carey Mulligan in An Education, for which she earned a Best Actress nod. I usually have red carpet faith in international actresses (see: Kate Winlset, Marion Cotillard and Cate Blanchett), but I've been less than thrilled with this Brit's red-carpet choices. Fingers crossed that she'll pull through this weekend. I doubt she'll win over the Academy and take statuette, but there's still time to win me over! Her wardrobe in An Eduction,...
